Yes, been heard by 2RWG, 2KAW, 2RGI, 3RAW

smart beaconing, standard settings on the Kenwood 710, WIDE 2-2

ready to go this evening with the OM in the vehicle

Others on this list aren't aware that RGF was actually transmitting
packet over the voice repeater system at the end of last month, so it
hasn't been "well". At that stage it wasn't even transmitting its
idents on 145.175, but after restart I started to hear its idents
again, but no digipeating behaviour.

I started off asking if the UIDIGI could be capable of misconfiguration
(cosmic rays of course) which would actually put me in the "badlist",
along with all wide area packets.
Is this actually possible?
